:run-it

If this is
t
, the
function
argument to
deliver
is used as the application startup function.

If this is
nil
, no application startup function is called when the delivered image is started up.

The image exits immediately upon startup when
:run-it
is
nil
. Any :call-count report requested is still generated on exit.

This keyword can be useful if you want to look at the symbols in the image (with the keyword :call-count) but cannot you actually run the application -- for example because the application links up to a database, but the database has not been started up. In such cases, set it to
nil
.
